2nd level namespace routing

#1216

my project requires the use of 2 level namespace routing

created the routing config in routes.rb

map.namespace(:school_admin, :namespace => :staff) do |school_admin| school_admin.resources :programmes end

in a view a link was created with

link_to 'Show', school_admin_programme_path(programme)

the link maps to address [webroot]/school_admin/programme/[some id]

now rails throw an error

uninitialized constant StaffschoolAdmin

my guess is that there should have been a / between staff and schoolAdmin

I managed to get the system working by hacking route_set.rb to add a "/" to the path generation process when :namespace option is supplied, that is...

def namespace(name, options = {}, &block)

      if options[:namespace]
        with_options(........, :namespace => "#{options.delete(:namespace)}/#{name}/" }.merge(options), &block)
      else
        .......
      end
    end

so instead of :namespace => "#{options.delete(:namespace)}#{name}/"

changed to

:namespace => "#{options.delete(:namespace)}/#{name}/"

This is wrong. The :namespace option is for internal use by the namespace method, to support nested namespaces -- if you insist on setting it manually you must comply with its existing semantics (i.e. it ends with a slash).

If you want to nest namespaces, go right ahead:
```
map.namespace(:school_admin) do |school_admin|
  school_admin.namespace(:staff) do |staff|
    # ...
  end
end
```

Oops my sincere apologies for my ignorance of the nested namespace

Thanks for the info, managed to get what I want by


map.namespace(:staff) do |staff|
  staff.namespace(:school_admin) do |school_admin|
    school_admin.resources :programmes
  end
end

and


<% form_for([:staff,:school_admin, @programme]) do |f| %>

Thank you so much!! : )
